The warm summer is coming to an end for the time being. At the end of the night from Wednesday to Thursday, heavy rain showers will pass over our province. The showers will move from Belgium to the north of the Netherlands and will pass through our province at the beginning of Thursday morning. After a short dry period, loose thunderstorms may also develop in the afternoon.
According to Johnny Willemsen of Weerplaza, it is still difficult to predict where the most rain will fall. “In the wettest areas, about 20 millimeters of rain can fall, the dry areas a maximum of 5 millimeters. It is impossible to predict exactly where these areas are. Last night the west of Brabant was still dry, but that could be different tomorrow. .”

But especially during the morning rush hour, many problems can arise. Most rain is expected during that period. Thursday morning’s showers are a harbinger of the weekend: it will also be wet and cool. The temperature will fluctuate around 20 degrees for the next few days.
Yet there is also a positive side to the amount of rainwater that we get on our roof. The showers in the coming days will help combat the drought in the province. “It’s not a big bite to be taken out, but it’s a start.”
